About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Leighton's Como auto open and manual close umbrella has a rubberized handle and a generous canopy to keep you out of the rain. It should keep you dry &mdash if the rainfall is light &mdash but the fabric wasn't able to hold up to heavier precipitation. This umbrella was among the heaviest in our test too. It shouldn't turn inside out in heavy winds, at least, but, the fabric is fairly weakly attached to the spokes. It comes in six colors.
